BreathLife vs Breathwrk

Both apps measure your breathing before guiding it. Breathwrk, owned by Peloton, offers a very large library and a lung score; BreathLife turns a 60-second breath-hold test into a breathing age and builds a 28-day path set to your level. Here are the differences, fact by fact.

In short

  • Pick Breathwrk if you want the biggest library, classes and Peloton integration.
  • Pick BreathLife if you want a breathing age, a 28-day path set to your level, English or French, and to try the test and a first session in your browser before installing.

1. BreathLife

Our app. It starts with a 60-second breath-hold test (after a normal exhale) that places you on 5 levels and turns the result into a breathing age, then a 28-day voice-guided path set to that level.

Strengths

  • Free test on the website, no install, then a first guided session in the browser
  • Breathing age and a weekly re-test to track your breath hold
  • English and French (voice and captions)

Good to know

  • · A young app: 4 ratings on the French App Store (5.0), none yet on the US App Store
  • · 10 exercises, fewer than the big libraries
  • · No Apple Watch app

A good pick if… you want to measure your breathing, know where to start and track your progress, in English or French.

How we compared

On October 26, 2026, we checked each app's App Store listing (US and France), Google Play listing and official website: platforms, listed prices, free trial, ratings, listed languages, and whether there is a breath test, a session you can do in the browser, and a web purchase. Anything not visible on those sources is marked “not found”. We did not install competing apps: their in-app features may go beyond what their listings show.

Disclosure: this page is published by BreathLife, one of the apps compared. We have a stake in it, which is why every fact is dated and sourced, and every app's strengths are listed.
